Conversations about space (Feb. 20, 2025)

On Thursday's show: The race to be the next top official in Fort Bend County is heating up -- even though the election is almost two years away. Our Fort Bend County bureau reporter Natalie Weber walks us through that and other recent developments in the county.

Also this hour: Houston recently hosted the U.S. premiere of The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks, a film about humanity’s past journeys to the moon. We learn about the film and experience, which is ongoing at Space Center Houston. 

Then, we learn about the world of collecting space memorabilia from Houstonian Robert Pearlman, one of the foremost authorities on space-related collectibles, who runs the website collectSPACE.

And we go behind the scenes of this month’s Brickfest Houston, which celebrated all things Lego.
